Happy Friday!!! Today I wanted to share with you design work from our newest design team member Larissa. She was unable to participate in the blog hop, and since her work is truly off the hook, I felt compelled to share her work with you on our blog.

Take a look at the layouts she created using our June Antiquities kit!!!

If all of that wasn't enough to get your mojo started, take a look at what she created with our Technique/Project kit!!!

Thank you Larissa for kicking some serious butt with our June kit. Your work is amazing!!!

Hello all!! Today I wanted to reveal two more of my layouts using the June Antiquities Kit. I loved working with this kit, so many goodies to chose from!! I tired to pull different color combos from my photos to get stylish looks for each page.

Last week we posted a new challenge which is all about Maculine cards.

Today I would like to spotlight one of the entries (so far) cause it realy caught my eye.

Here's Jackie's, Father's day card:

Isn't it awesome?!!!

I love the way Jackie used the Bo Bunny sticker, with those cute Tim Holtz mini paperclips, on the front of her card. The banner on the inside is just so cute, and how about those perfectly distressed edges. A perfect Father's day card! Well done Jackie!!!

The challenge still runs so, if you would like to play along, feel free to stop by and play.

God took the strength of a mountain,The majesty of a tree,The warmth of a summer sun,The calm of a quiet sea,The generous soul of nature,The comforting arm of night,The wisdom of the ages,The power of the eagle's flight,The joy of a morning in spring,The faith of a mustard seed,The patience of eternity,The depth of a family need,Then God combined these qualities,When there was nothing more to add,He knew His masterpiece was complete,And so, He called it ... Dad

This week we bring to you a lovely layout created by Elizabeth. The
photo is a school photo of her beautiful daughter Sarah. What a gorgeous
smile!! She's a natural beauty!! The colors of the papers and embellies
were perfect for the photo!! The colors just seem to blend into each
other!! The design s so pleasing to the eye and the flower cluster is
perfect paired next to the pink rose on the paper. Like a little garden
in the corner! Looks like Elizabeth used the micro beads with the sticky
letters giving them an elegant look. Love the use of the journaling
card. You must visit Elizabeth's Blog to see details and closeups of
this wonderful layout! Congrats Elizabeth! We love this one!!CLICK HERE
